Raving Fans!
Job well done! And thank you for the bonus of cleaning the back patio!

This letter is to commend you and your company for the fine work at Oswego Summit cleaning the gutters. The crew was well organized and thorough. The crew leader kept me informed as to their progress and assured me that the work was done correctly and in a manner consistent with our expectations. They cleaned up all debris, and the gutter systems on our 26 buildings are now running efficiently. Thank you for your services.

Strategic Cleaning has recently cleaned the inside and outside of my windows in my commercial office building. I can state, without hesitation, that they have been outstanding in every way! Their staff is competent, professional, courteous and efficient. The performance on the windows was so good that we did not realize how bad they had been until they were cleaned!! They look terrific!
-Randolph L. Miller, Chairman, The Moore Company
I have used the services of Strategic Cleaning & Access for gutter cleaning, window cleaning and pressure washing several times, and am always more than pleased with the work when completed.
I would like to commend you on the individuals you manage to hire. Your people are always so conscientious, and they go out of their way to do “a little extra” when they are on the job. Prior to using your company’s services, I had hired 4-5 different firms to clean gutters on my home, and none of them ever cleaned/took apart the downspouts, so I always had a problem. Your people do such a thorough job and it is greatly appreciated. …Joe was a hard-working, very pleasant young man who worked quickly and efficiently, even in the pouring down rain.
It is always a pleasure to refer you and your company to everyone I know because I know they will be pleased when the work is completed. Thank you, once again, for my sparkling clean windows, inside and out!!

Recently we had an event for First Thursday in the Pearl District that featured three artists with music, food and wine. We really needed to prepare the pavilion to look amazing to accommodate the event we were trying to create. The evening turned out to be a great success and about 150 guests attended.
I really appreciated your wonderful customer service, and getting your crew here in a timely manner to get all of our windows cleaned. They had needed it after the long winter and all the construction dust in the area. Thank you and the crew for helping make our event a beautiful one. We hope to have you work with us again for future events!

Barry Durmaz… has been providing window cleaning services for Powell’s Books at several locations for many years…. Barry has been at all times willing and eager to make (any requested) changes (to the work schedule), and has guaranteed that his employees do good work for us. I am deeply impressed by Barry’s integrity, work ethic and devotion to good customer service. It has been a pleasure working with Strategic Cleaning & Access: I highly recommend the company.
-Stanley Selland, Physical Plant Manager, Powell’s Books, Inc.
OMG!! Our window cleaner is BRUSHING the screens off before he rehangs them, front and back. I’ve never seen (window cleaners) do this before, but it is a very good thing. Many years ago, management literally had to come to the property and chase (a former contractor) up the ladder, and kept having to “encourage” the vendor to finish the job. Please tell (Strategic Cleaning & Access) that what they are doing is wonderful.

The Embassy Suites Portland Airport has used the exterior building maintenance and window washing services of Strategic Cleaning & Access for the past five or six years and are very pleased with their performance. Barry Durmaz has proven to be professional and reliable. Barry is very thorough and stands behind his workmanship.
-Jim Dodson, General Manager, Embassy Suites Portland Airport
Our company is involved in the management of apartments, office buildings and single family homes. Mr. Barry Durmaz, owner of Strategic Cleaning, has been helping us keep our gutter systems clean and operational since 1992. I have found the quality of Barry’s work to be outstanding. He is an honest, hard working individual who is sincerely interested in doing the job right and on time. I am confident that you too will be completely satisfied with his services.
-Robert P. Leffler, Asset Manager, Gilbert Brothers Real Estate Services, Inc.
The managers at Sawyer Pointe were really knocked out with the cleaning you did on the vinyl siding. They didn’t realize how dingy and dull it had gradually gotten. All we intended to do was the marked up, obvious areas. Doing the whole place looks like a new paint job for about $27 a unit. The renters are happier and the manager is ecstatic. I am sure we will be doing more with you.
-Jerry Mason, Westland Investment Realty, LLC
…Nothing could have prepared me for the wonderful surprise when I visited the property (to inspect the cleaning of vinyl siding on six buildings). The buildings look absolutely amazing! The 10+ year old siding looks new again, and the residents have a renewed pride in their homes. I understand the project went off without a hitch. Once again Strategic Cleaning & Access has proven to be professional, well trained, knowledgeable and efficient. I am pleased to continue to recommend your company to our clients.
-Nancy L. Reed, CMCA, Community Manager, Sunny Grove Condominiums
We utilized the services of Strategic Cleaning & Access to power wash the exterior building surfaces of a 265 unit apartment in Gresham, Oregon and to clean the gutters on several apartment properties. Barry and his team completed the work in a timely and thorough manner. In addition, the process was well coordinated with our on-site staff and residents. I gladly recommend Barry Durmaz and Strategic Cleaning.
-Dwight D. Unti, President, Tokola Properties
In Strategic Cleaning, we have found a company that can provide us a wide variety of cleaning services. I no longer have to shop various vendors to perform our cleaning needs. Carla Properties Ltd. has used Strategic Cleaning to clean gutters, windows, building awnings, parking lots, and building exteriors. I have found Strategic Cleaning to do a great job at reasonable pricing. Their employees have always been very courteous, and Barry Durmaz’s follow up is fantastic. I look forward to a long working relationship with them. I would highly recommend Barry and his company to perform your various cleaning needs.
-Rick Martinson, Carla Properties, Ltd.
You did a beautiful job and I appreciate it.

Barry Durmaz of Strategic Cleaning has been cleaning our windows and gutters for the last several years, and most recently has cleaned our roof and provided pressure washing services. From experience, I can tell you that he goes beyond the call of duty. Everything he does is top notch, and I always know that the job will be done professionally. The thing that sets Strategic Cleaning above the other companies is that they care about the job they do. After Barry completes the job, when most companies would collect the money and run, Barry comes back inside to double check that every single window has been done to his or our satisfaction. I have referred many neighbors, business associates, friends and relatives to Barry and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Thanks for the fine window cleaning at my home, Strategic Cleaning & Access. In 15 years, I’ve never been disappointed in the quality of your work. Both young men you sent out this time were very courteous and conscientious.
